Pruning Azaleas

When I first started this Blog the focus was to be on "Gardening Tidbits" or information helpful to fellow gardeners.  In recent times I have focused on Blue and/or Gold Star Marker Dedications.  I have lost sight of the original focus.  While I will continue to publish information about Marker Dedications I will also revert to the original focus.

Today I will pass along information about Pruning Azaleas.  Here is what the Azaleas looked like prior to being Pruned this Year.

As You can see the branches are well above the Window Sill Line.

After the pruning, which must be completed prior to the end of June each year to insure blooms the following Spring this is what the Shrubs looked like.

Much lower with plenty of green leaves on top to insure a Beautiful Bloom Cycle in the Spring of 2026!  Please remember this pruning must be accomplished prior to the end of June to insure a Beautiful Bloom Cycle the following Spring.
